Manual Control This fire comes with a manual control. This is the cheapest form of control and is found on most entry level fires. Not ideal for elderly or infirm users who have difficulty kneeling down to operate it. But an economical choice for those on a tight budget. Stylish chrome finish The chrome finish of this fire is sure to bring heaps of style and aesthetics to your home with its polished appearance. Coal effect These fires have all the benefits of a coal-burning fire, the heat, the aesthetics and the warm, cosy feeling. All without the issue of having to repeatedly top it up! Simply switch the fire on and enjoy hours of satisfaction. Gas powered  These appliances are fuelled by gas, an ideal solution for those looking for the same effect as a wood burner but without the hassle of constantly resupplying them with wood.  Both natural gas or LPG (liquid petroleum gas) can be used too giving greater flexibility.  Balanced Flue Included This unit benefits from a balanced flue system with a pre-fabricated flue included, which means that air is extracted directly from the outside and used in the fire then returned back outside. This means no extra ventilation is required, nor is there any chance of carbon monoxide poisoning making it safe for your family.
